What You Need:
- Lined paper and pens
What You Do:
- The first person should start writing a story. Do not reveal what you are writing about to anyone else! Use your imagination - the zanier the better. When you have written about a paragraph, fold the paper down so that only the last line can be seen. Pass the paper to the next person.
- The second person should read the visible line, and then continue the story! When she's finished, fold the paper over again so that only the last line of her paragraph is visible to the next person.
- Repeat until everyone has participated. Then, unfold the paper and read the silly story aloud!
